vash the stampede 🌱 (Patreon)

Vash, the most specialest boy of 2023! I learned SOOO much making this costume!! I'd never dealt with 3D printing (for the gun) or making foam armor (for the arm!). I had to learn so many new techniques for sewing the jacket. I wanted to get the cartoony effect we see in anime for the physics of this costume. If I wear this again for a shoot or a con there are some pieces I'd like to spruce up (the shoes and the gun holster!) but I'm honestly overall so proud of this. The arm had some small LED lights installed, but unfortunately they didn't glow so well in the daylight. At least it was a learning moment for me!

For the shoot: all photos by the lovely sweetsensationphoto on IG, and my broody Knives is my friend Mal, who is ptenuis on IG!

Trigun Stampede really hooked me. I thought it was so beautiful and I fell deeply in love with our plant siblings! I need to sit down and read the manga one of these days (but I know its going to wreck me.) I cannot wait for season 2!!! AND MILLIE!!!!!
